prioritization of roadmap is off, I think

The VERY FIRST THING you guys need to work on is part 2 of step #4,

Step 4: Lightweight Client

LLViewerApp#Phase 2

•Clean up the client initialization, update, and render loops so that individual pieces (e.g. 3D rendering) can be de-prioritized or disabled
•Create a sample UI only client


Until you have a simple "hello world" window available, prototyping GUI classes and GUI elements will be quite bearish, to say the least.

Certainly, it is for me, and no-one could use the SL framework for creating cross-platform tools for SL until such a thing is available and a plug-in API will be much easier to implement if the tool/plugin is using the same GUI framework as the client it is plugging into.

While we understand that this is highly desired by a lot of extrnal devs, we have to prioritize providing a better experience for the majority of the residents. This means giving greater priority to providing our UI designers with better tools for improving the UI.
